Uganda
Why Uganda is special
A whole country to discover, which still remains far from the busiest circuits in the eastern part of the continent, although it will not be for a long time. It hides wonders such as mountain gorillas and chimpanzees, tree-climbing lions, hundreds of native birds, the source of the Nile River .....
In contrast to its neighbors Kenya or Uganda, Uganda offers a totally different safari experience, from the savannas of Queen Elisabeth National Park, through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, with its jungles, or the rivers or lakes that bathe these rich ecosystems, completely green.
The infrastructure of Uganda is quite limited, so you have to take the trip with patience and enjoy each of the moments that we make contact with the locals, as well as taking advantage of every time we spend in the beautiful lodges surrounded by exuberant nature.
In Uganda the possibilities of different types of accommodation are varied and diverse, from mid-level accommodation to the most luxurious ones, which will make your trip the delights of lovers of luxury and surprising places.
With the largest population of mountain gorillas in the world, Uganda offers a variety of gorilla-viewing trekkings, from the most conventional that consists of seeing habituated gorilla families, to habituation treks, where you will walk a lot, but the reward and the help gorillas will be infinite.
